Since when......

Since when does a couple's family planning become any one's business other than their own? I have always found it ironic when we receive comments from people we knew and complete strangers on a new pregnancy after they realize how many children we already have; and this started just after we had #3:

"Do you know what causes that?"

"Boy, you have your hands full!"

"Trying for a boy, eh?"

"Are they all yours?"

"How do you manage?"

"You must be a saint!"

"You must have the patience of Job!"

"Are you going to do something about that?"

Grandmother, mother and mil all asked if we were going to be "fixed", I think after 5, 6, 7 and 8. Mil even offered to pay for surgery for my husband! I was a little livid because as generous as it was money wise she had no place even offering because it's not her decision.

I just find it bold and even rude to a point. It's not like I go around snooping in other couple's bedrooms, you know? Because that's in essence what these people are doing, unfortunately.

I agree.. it's no ones business but your own! Same goes for not having kids the second you get married... it gets old fast.. the questions and comments. Or goodness, heaven forbid we want one little goober.. to each their own!
